Seems sus. They just show random Hermes boxes yet says only 1 available
I got him to post more pics, seems like he’s gonna post the other options next? It’s 10% less confusing now but if someone really wants a sealed s8 seems like a solid deal, if legit

In the era of so many Hermes scams, that’s no small thing, friend! Welcome to the life! Oh i didn’t realize it was Olive Flak; thought it was just black/black nike. Nice! Just in time for Nike faces on Hermes
Absolutely...I've been stressing since I hit buy. I'm very satisfied (and relieved). Now I just have to readjust my battery life expectations that I've experienced with the Ultra for the past year. I think it'll be worth it.

Yeah let us know how 90% battery health is. Should be enough if you’re back to daily charging or express top-ups if you wanna sleep with it. Next up: Fall 2022 hermes diagonal leather bands in SBSS!

and yeah I feel you; my $500 sealed s8 hermes was legit lost in that crazy Chicago snowstorm last winter when we were all assuming it was a Poshmark scam and then when i finally grabbed it—had to go to the post office not super nearby—it was pure ecstasy.

Of course it doesn’t have a warranty bec it was never “purchased” but I’ve survived.
 
Hey guys, I'm looking at buying the Ultra 2 watch and like the Alpine bands. But, I actually like the "Green" from gen 1 Ultra better than the new "Olive" Alpine band.

Need help verifying if this is authentic: ebay seller: ztronix786

Seller has 99.7% feedback and sells quite a bit of Apple stuff and other techie gadget things... Looks to be older surplus things though??

TIA!

I love Green Alpine. Ended up being my favorite after I got a little sick of Orange. Fwiw I don’t have an ultra.

Thanks. Yeah, the orange looks nice and sporty. Personally, I couldn't pull off wearing it frequently as I'm kind of particular about having the band at least somewhat match with the outfit I'm wearing.

What's odd about the ebay seller I linked to is that they're also selling the Green Alpine loop band in a plastic bag without box (claiming it's original): https://www.ebay.com/itm/314803442643?

It's making me 2nd guess that the bands they're selling are authentic.
